2009 Map of Gypsum

About this map

Gypsum serves as the primary hub in this Saline County landscape, defined by a complex network of waterways that crisscross the prairie. The town is situated at the confluence of several prominent drainage systems, most notably Gypsum Creek and Spring Creek, which shape the local topography and historical road alignments. This early 21st-century survey documents a rural infrastructure where section-line roads like Tinkler Rd and S Gypsum Valley Rd connect isolated homesteads and burial grounds. For those tracing family histories or local settlement patterns, the map identifies three distinct cemeteries: Gypsum Cemetery to the west of the town center, Saint Patrick Cemetery further south, and Chapel Hill Cemetery near the southern boundary. These sites, alongside smaller tributaries like McAllister Creek and Hobbs Creek, provide critical landmarks for understanding the area's development outside the concentrated streets of Gypsum.
